PATENT OFFICE CHICAGO, ILLINOIS CURTAIN HANGER Application filed July22,

The invention relates to Vcurtain or drapery hanger, of the typeembodying a pin and suspending loop, and provides an article whichadmits of the pin occupying a vertical posi- .p' tion and adapted tobe'concealed by the folds of the curtain, the latter being suspended ina manner to obscure the rod to which the curtain is attached.

The essential feature of the invention is the l provision of a hangerwhich may be easily and quickly attached to and removed from thecurtain, drapery or like hanging, without stitching and which will behidden from view, and conceal the curtain rod which is obscured by theupper portion of the curtain projecting upwardly in front thereof.

The hanger is formed from a single length of wire which is bent toprovide a pin, a shank, a catch, a coil and a rod receiving loop whichmay be circular, elongated or any desired outline, said loop being inthe length of the shank adjacent the point of the pin and in a plane ata right angle to the plane of the shank and pin.

For a full understanding of the invention and the merits thereof,reference is to be had to the drawings hereto attached and the subjoineddescription, in which corresponding parts are designated in the severalviews of the drawings and referred to in the specification by likereference characters.

In the drawings i Figure 1 is a detail perspective view illustrative ofan application of an embodiment of the invention.

Fig. 2 is a detail vertical section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the hanger.

Fig. 4- is a perspective view of a modification.

The hanger is formed from a length of wire of suitable gauge, which isbent to provide a pin 1, a shank 2, a catch or guard 3, a coil 4 and arod receiving loop 5 which may be of circular outline, as illustratedmost clearly in Fig. 3, or elongated, as indicated in Fig. 4 of theaccompanying drawings. The outline of the loop 5 will depend upon thecross sectional outline of the rod or pole 6 for which the pin or hangeris designed.

1931. Serial No. 552,512.

When the rod or pole 6 is round the loop 5 Y will be circular, but whenthe rod is llat the loop will be elongated, as illustrated in Fig. -l ofthe accompanying drawings.

The shank 2 and pin 1 are in the salne plane whereas the loop 5 isoffset or in aplane at a right angle to the plane of the-shank and pin.The loop 5 is in the length of the shank 2 and is disposed adjacent thepoint of the pin 1 with the result that the hanger occupies anapproximately vertical position when attached to a curtain or analogousdrapery 7, as indicated most clearly in Fig. 1 of the drawings. When thehanger is applied the point of the pin 1 is disposed upwardly and therod 6 passes through the loop 5 with the result that a portion of thepin projects above the Vcurtain rod and supports the curtain or hanging7 in a manner to obscure the said rod which is hidden from view. It isfurther ob- T served that the hanger itself is likewise concealed sinceit is disposed in the rear of the curtain and within a fold to be hiddenthereby, as indicated most clearly in Fig. 1 of the drawings. Y

A hanger constructed in the manner herein disclosed may be easily andreadily attached to and disconnected from a curtain or other draperywithout the necessity of stitching the pin thereto. When the hanger isapplied the pin occupies a vertical position with the rod receiving loop5 projecting rearwardly so as to engage the rod 6 which makes contactwith both the pin l and shank 2, as will be readily understood. Y l

What is claimed. is

As a new article of manufacture, a curtain hanger consisting of a singlelength of wire bent to provide a pin, a shank, a catch at one end of theshank engageable with the point of the pin, a coil connecting the otherend of the shank with the pin, and a loop in the length of the shankadjacent the point of the pin and disposed at a right angle to the planeof the pin and shank.
